Why does the bottom of the bucket turn yellow?
Toilet water is hard water, also called hard water. In fact, it is rich in minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, responsible for the formation of limestone. When this water stagnates in the container, it promotes scale formation. These unsightly yellow or brown spots are deposits of scales.
Keep in mind that scale not only encroaches on our toilets, but also all of our appliances that use hard water. In addition to being unsightly, limescale deposits lead to excessive energy consumption.
How to find a white bowl?
To remove the yellow stains that cover the walls of the bowl, 3 ingredients come into play: baking soda, white vinegar and salt.
Need:
- 4 tablespoons baking soda
- 3 tablespoons salt
- 1 glass of white vinegar
This preparation costs less than one euro and can be used for up to a month.
Sprinkle the baking soda generously on the sides and bottom of the container. Then sprinkle the salt on the same surfaces covered with baking soda. Let it sit for a few minutes and pour the white vinegar over the stained areas. Leave on for an hour to allow the mixture to work better on the scale deposits. Then rub the yellow stains with the toilet brush and flush the toilet.
What are the cleaning properties of these products?
Baking soda: This multipurpose product is effective in cleaning, degreasing and neutralizing bad odors. It is also a natural stain remover with whitening properties. Baking soda is therefore a natural bleaching agent that will allow you to clean the toilet bowl and whiten it.
White vinegar: Used in the kitchen to season salads, white vinegar is also very effective in cleaning. In fact, it is composed of acetic acid that gives it a cleaning and disinfecting power. The acidity of vinegar also helps kill bacteria and dissolve dirt, grease, and scale deposits. This is why white vinegar is a natural limescale remover, useful for removing scale at the bottom of the container.
